Four Years Old

Four years ago today, I gave birth to the most precious beautiful little boy.  I still remember every detail of that wonderful day.  We were truly blessed with the greatest gift when Alexander was born.

Now he is four years old and it is really hard to believe.  Where did the time go?  He is already a big boy.  He has the most wonderful vocabulary and loves to find out what words mean.  He isn't afraid to ask questions and is very friendly with everyone.  He is also a really big flirt.  Now, believe me, he isn't perfect and he can be quite the stinker at times, but he is my little boy and I love him so much.

Right now, he knows most of his letters and can write them.  He is working on learning his numbers.  He always wants to work on his school work and he has an awesome memory for facts.  I wish that I could remember things the way that he can.  He is ready to go to preschool next year.

This year was a big challenge for Alexander.  He became a big brother 8 days after his third birthday.  He has really tried hard to be a good big brother and we work on it every day.  He truly loves Julia and wants her to be happy most of the time.  Sharing things with her has been difficult, but we are working on it.

This year, he also was able to drink milk and eat eggs for the first time.  He isn't too sure about the dairy products, but he always tries something before saying that he doesn't like it.  He has been a real trooper with the eggs too and now he loves poached eggs on toast.

All in all, three was a very exciting year, but I am really looking forward to what the age of four will bring.  Keep on growing and stay healthy little boy.  Know that Daddy and I love you more than anything!
